Real Madrid Bids Farewell to the Player, Will Go to the Premier League for €30 Million

The Offer That the Premier League Has Presented to Win a Signing Over Real Madrid

For several seasons, the Premier League has been one of Real Madrid's most frequent rivals. Always clashing in the transfer markets, the Premier League always makes million-dollar signings to win a player over Real Madrid. This has been the case with a recent move for a young star who interests Real Madrid.

Presenting a 30 million euro offer, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are seeking to sign Rayan Cherki. The Olympique de Lyon player is one of the great talents that French soccer currently has. Shining both in attack and midfield, Real Madrid considered his transfer.

However, the recent offer from the Premier League teams has sealed, in the absence of another proposal, Cherki's fate. Real Madrid, once again, will bid farewell to a player who won't end up joining due to the millions managed by the Premier League.

The Premier's Offer

At 21 years old, Rayan Cherki is the great star of Olympique de Lyon and one of his country's great talents. Playing his fifth season in elite soccer, Cherki has proven to be ready to make the leap to a better team. With 2,355 minutes played where he has achieved 8 goals and 18 assists, his talent is evident.

Having a clause of only 30 million euros, Real Madrid saw this as a quite affordable and straightforward operation. Moreover, with his contract ending in 2026, his departure from Lyon was practically a fact for the next summer market.

While Real Madrid saw potential in Cherki's signing, their plans have once again been thwarted by the Premier League. Avoiding entering a bidding war for Cherki, the Frenchman's future now points to an upcoming arrival in English soccer.

Another Player Who Rules Out Real Madrid

Just as happened with Leny Yoro during the last summer market, Real Madrid is close to bidding farewell to another French talent. Although Real Madrid can choose to fight for this signing, this would lead to a battle that might not have a good ending.
